Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. Back River Project Annual Report N2016C0011 2016 Annual Report

The Goose camp is located on the slope of the western bank of Goose Lake and consists of a 158-person camp constructed for support services directed towards exploration activities (Figures 2 and 3). The lakeshore is approximately 50 m toward the north and the regional topographical gradient surrounding the camp ranges from 2% to 6% towards the north. The camp is approximately 500 metres (m) in length from east to west and 100 m wide from north to south, covering an area of 50,000 m2. A small but visible creek runs east northeast on the eastern side of the camp. The camp facilities are located on natural tundra underlain by a of layer overlying silt-sand material. The George camp is located at the southern end of George Lake and improvements were made during the 2012 season including construction to improve the camp to support a 60 person camp and exploration drill program (Figure 4). Additional improvements in 2013 included the construction of two helicopter pads and a berm for the gray water discharge. Regionally this exploration area lies within the Takijuq Lake Uplands ecoregion, which covers the south central portion of the West . This area is made up of broad, sloping uplands, plateaus, and lowlands (WKRLUP, 2005). Much of the area is largely composed of unvegetated rock outcrops and boulder fields. The landscape is characterized by higher elevations, which are moderated by open water during the late summer and early fall. The exploration properties occur within the Bathurst Inlet-Burnside Watershed and the area is dotted by thousands of lakes, collected by streams or by one of the major rivers in the area (e.g., Burnside, Mara). The exploration area lies within two geological provinces; the Slave Province and the Bear Province. The Slave Geological Province is underlain by granite and related gneisses, as well as by sedimentary and volcanic rocks (more than 2.5 billion years old). The Bear Geological Province contains mainly volcanic and sedimentary rocks ranging in age from about two billion years. The mean annual temperature is approximately -10.5ºC with a summer mean of 6ºC and a winter mean of -26.5ºC. The mean annual precipitation range is 200-300 mm (Environment Canada website). The ground is covered in snow from late October to June most years. Lakes are ice-covered from approximately October to June most years, with ice thickness reaching depths of at least 2.0 metres.

2.0 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES

2.1 Goose Lake

During the 2016 season, planes arriving in and out of the Goose Lake property utilized both the ice and all-weather strip during the March 15th to April 22nd opening as well as solely the all-weather airstrip during both the June 14th to June 29th and August 16th to 31st openings. Personnel arrived at the Goose Lake site on March 15th to open the camp and prepare the ice strip for larger aircraft. By March 26th all work crews had arrived at Goose with drilling activities initiated. Once the ice airstrip was developed enough to receive freighter aircraft, 737 type aircraft were used to deliver 13 bulk fuel and 1 bulk supply freight load to Goose site. The camp can accommodate a maximum of 158 people, however, the average daily occupancy throughout the 2016 season was 16 people with a peak of 41 people in the March/April opening. The Goose Lake Quarry east of camp was not operational during the 2016 season. The 2016 field season consisted of three camp opening events: March 15th- April 22nd, June 14th – 29th and August 16th – 31st for a total of 71 operating days. Within the March/April camp opening, 19 diamond drill holes were drilled for exploration purposes for a total of 2,746 metres; all water was sourced from Goose Lake. Detailed geological mapping and sampling were done in sections of Goose, Boulder, Bath, and George properties, in June and August, 2016. Samples were collected and submitted for assay and for trace element analysis. At Goose, Boulder, and George, areas of current exploration interest were targeted, to advance understanding of potential prospects, and to follow up soil and rock sampling done in previous years. Some mapping in June, 2016

at Goose and at Bath was done to support engineering work in areas of planned or possible future infrastructure development. Till sampling was done at Goose and Boulder properties in August, 2016. In total, 401 samples at Goose and 288 samples at Boulder were collected for gold and arsenic analysis to advance exploration efforts in these areas. Del Property was visited briefly in June, 2016 to confirm locations of historical drill collars and samples.

2.2 George Lake

The George camp was not operational during the 2016 season.

3.0 WORK PLAN

Possible 2017 activities may include, but are not limited to:

 March 29th to mid-May: o Approximate 6 week winter exploration drilling program at Goose camp. Limited personnel will be on site for the first week; with initial activity limited to camp opening tasks, such as snow clearing, warming up buildings, starting equipment, etc. o Potential mobilization of a drill to Bathurst Inlet for future geotechnical program.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

The weather station required resetting on its base (after being upset) in order to collect rainfall, temperature, wind (speed and direction), solar radiation and barometric pressure data. Permafrost monitoring via an automated system continued which included data collection from thermistors. This 2016 data will be incorporated into the existing environmental baseline data.

5.0 WILDLIFE

5.1 Goose Lake

In August, several small groups of caribou were identified as they moved through the Project area. The caribou were monitored and no interactions with vehicles occurred.

Several wolves and wolverines were spotted transiting through the Project area. A lone wolf in August was deterred utilizing bear bangers. No further interaction occurred.

5.2 George Lake

George Lake was not operational in 2016 however Geologists, based out of Goose Lake, spent time soil and rock sampling. Like Goose, in August, several small groups of caribou were identified.

A lone wolverine and muskox were also spotted.

6.0 INUIT EMPLOYEES

8.0 ANNUAL INSPECTION ACTIVITIES

Inspections that occurred during the 2016 exploration programs include:

 August 10th, INAC Lands Inspector Baba Pedersen visited Back River to inspect legacy drill sites and fuel caches on Crown Land. No findings were reported on these areas by the inspector.  August 23rd, KIA Inspector Tannis Bolt completed an inspection of Goose Lake camp. There were no drilling activities underway during this inspection. No findings were identified and the inspection of the camp was found to be in compliance with the permits. Sabina will continue to backhaul waste items from site as the opportunities arise.

9.0 SITE VISITS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS

In addition to the 2016 work programs, two, one day tours took place at Goose:  Community tour on April 12th  Engineering tour on August 24th

11.0 TAKE-OFFS AND LANDINGS

• 9 of 10 •

Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. Back River Project Annual Report N2016C0011 2016 Annual Report

For all the 2016 openings, personnel, equipment and supplies were mobilized to the property by fixed wing aircraft including Twin Otter (on skis for the opening crew and floats for the engineering tour), Dornier 228 and Dash-8 types.

Once the ice airstrip was developed enough to receive freighter aircraft, 737 type aircraft were used to deliver 13 bulk fuel and 1 bulk supply freight load to Goose site.

12.0 HELICOPTER TOUCH-DOWNS

Helicopter support included one 206 Jet Ranger type during the June opening and one 206 Long Ranger type during the August opening. These aircraft were stationed at Goose and mobilized field crews when required throughout the openings. Records were not kept of every individual touchdown, however it would be reasonable to estimate an overall average of 7-9 landings per day including drill crew shift changes, drill support, as well as geological, survey and environmental crews. This estimate would result in approximately 250 landings.

13.0 PROGRESSIVE RECLAMATION WORK

During the 2016 season, reclamation activities were focused on current drilling activities.

14.0 PROJECT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Sabina has, to the best of our knowledge, conducted this operation in full compliance with the terms and conditions annexed to the permits, and we are actively working with inspectors and regulators to address any issues or concerns which arise and to improve the way in which we operate. We strive to maintain a high standard of performance in the course of all of our operations.
